about trodo

Trotó is a greek word that means vulnerability. To achieve great things, you must first have the courage to put yourself out there, to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is a trait that can be cultivated by anyone. It's a mentality of trial that confidently and calmly risks failure in the pursuit of progress, often built on the foundation of a supporting community. The grit developed through a life-long commitment to vulnerability elevates our self-worth and quality of life.

team trodo

the core of the chicago functional fitness community.

Team Trodo was created to deliver life changing experiences for athletes at Trodo Box League events throughout the year. They were hand picked from across the Chicagoland area because of their passion for fitness and their belief that we are stronger together. Our red shirts create a unique one-of-a-kind experience where athletes across all fitness levels have a chance to put themselves out there as a community, in team-based events, in a safe supportive environment truly created to include everyone. You might see your grandma could be in the Trodo games, or even a regional athlete, and both are sure to reach their own intensity level and have an incredible time. The games are always magical, and for many athletes, it's truly a life changing experience. Currently, we're focusing on changing lives in the workplace, by delivering this style of fitness that could never afford it otherwise, but Team Trodo remains on call for future events!
